How does one put into words what one finds confusing?

When I read it I wasn't sure if it was:

From: address@hidden
To: person1
To: person2

or To: person1, person2

or To: person1 To: person2

or To: person1 -to person2

or To: person1
-to person2

Now, all of this may seem absurd to the technically inclined, but for
the rest of us, in many cases if it isn't spelled out step by step,
we're lost.

That's why in many cases when I have a problem my first resort is
searching for examples on the web. Man pages are usually my last resort.
